Prepper Television, Movies

There have been scifi, apocalyptic
television shows and movies dating back before the
infamous War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938. Even after
the Y2K bug concept caught fire, prepping wasn't a
significant part of popular culture on TV or the big
screen. Some cable networks would run documentaries on
TEOTWAWKI scenarios, but I believe Doomsday Preppers on
NatGeoChannel was one of the first Prepper Television
shows. Despite the criticism of the show's participants
(after all, National Geographic has to put on an
entertaining show), Doomsday Preppers has led a
substantial number of Americans to the concept of
Prepping. Kudos for that.

Like dystopian novels, Prepper
television shows and movies place the individual point
of view with the viewer. "If that was me, what would I
do?" A visual representation of the Prepper lifestyle or
a survival scenario is very powerful.

We have compiled a list of the great
Prepper Movies and television shows of all time. Watch
them as you have time with an eye towards gaining
knowledge. Like Prepper Books, screenwriters conduct a
significant amount of research and utilize survival
experts in order to be accurate.
